Snakes! And then went to live in Singapore and later Australia, where snakes were likely to be around. Learned to live with it and just got on with daily life. Still don't like them.
School milk, especially when it had been frozen and then thawed out around the stove in the classroom.
All vegetables except potatoes. I'm better now!
Having to put my book down and take my youngest brother and sister out to play. I was 10 years older than them.
Going to chapel twice on a Sunday, and the long, long sermons. I really wanted to go to the Anglican church with its rituals, altars, candles and vestments and beautiful services like Matins and Evensong. I did change later and was confirmed into the C of E when I was 20.
Having to listen to Welsh hymn singing on the radio while we had tea every Sunday. And not being allowed to play out on a Sunday.
